Kane Returns in Command & Conquer 3 Expansion

Some people, like Jean Grey of the X-Men, just never seem able to stay dead. Once again, Kane, the notorious leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, has evaded the reaper and will be appearing in a newly-announced expansion pack for Command & Conquer 3.

This upcoming add-on features a new single-player campaign with a storyline that centers on Kane. Mike Verdu, VP and Executive Producer at EALA says, "I'm excited that we're able to go back to the Tiberium universe with Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath. This expansion has an impressive new single-player campaign, a new global strategic layer that adds depth to the familiar 'Command & Conquer'-style gameplay, and several fun, all-new toys that range from versatile combat soldiers to giant armored walkers."

The new single-player campaign spans 20 years, covering the rebirth of Nod after the Second Tiberium War all the way to beyond the Third Tiberium War depicted in the last game. With this expansion pack you'll be able to build customized armies and mount attacks on a global scale. Six new sub-factions and "a wealth" of new structures, powers, and units will be added to the Nod, GDI, and Scrin forces.

More high-definition cutscenes are planned with a celebrity cast. So far Joe Kucan, the man who plays Kane, is the only actor announced for the expansion. EA also says that the X360 version of the expansion will have a new interface designed specifically for consoles.
